The sickened luna’s last chance

Chapter 4
Ella POV
I left Gabriel and Sophia standing in the garden. I didn’t turn back to look at them, although I could sense their expressions of shock.
The thought of two of the biggest pains in my ass being dumbfounded by my actions brought a smile to my face.
Now, I just had one more person to throw off: Alexander.
I made my way inside, deciding that a nap really did sound lovely after the morning I’d had so far. My suite was all the way on the west wing of the mansion, a good five minutes’ walk through the labyrinthine halls.
When I finally reached my suite and stepped inside, I hesitated, glancing at the small bed pushed into the corner. I couldn’t help but wrinkle my nose at the sight.
My room was small and insignificant-basically a glorified guest suite. It was well-appointed and cozy-a small bed with a handmade quilt laid on top, a little en suite bathroom, and a writing desk under the window-but hardly fit for a Luna.
I should have been dignified enough to share a room with Alexander all these years, but when he had shoved me as far away from his quarters as he possibly could, I hadn’t argued.
I had taken the assignment with a smile and had even thanked him, as if being treated like a guest in my own home was work thanking him over.
And what was even worse was that my sleeping arrangement hadn’t gone unnoticed. The
household staff may not have realized that Alexander and I were never intimate, but they certainly knew that he didn’t like me.
I would often hear them gossipping about it, whispering and giggling over my humiliation. They said that I was no better than a mistress, that I didn’t even have my husband’s respect.
They were right.
The thought now made my stomach twist with discomfort. Now that death was so close I could taste it, it broke my heart to think I had spent so many years limiting myself.
Lilith was right; if I wanted to live, then I needed to change.
And even if I survived this, then I needed to be true to myself afterwards. I couldn’t bear to waste any more time letting myself get used and abused.
I made a decision then; I wouldn’t be napping in this room. No, I would go where I should have gone a long time ago.
Without hesitating, I turned on my heel and strode out of my room and down the hall. The closer I
